Tasting Note:  The bouquet is immediately ripe and fresh with wild cherries, mineral and tea leaf notes. On the palate this is rich but not heavy, velvety and pure. Well-balanced. This cuvée embodies the subtle mineral expression of the pinot noir on the Kimmeridgian. Simply put, this is remarkable wine.

Epineuil ‘Cuvee Juliette’ comes from the unheralded appellation of Epineuil. The village sits just about 20 minutes northeast of Chablis, outside the town of Tonnerre. It’s a cold place with classic Kimmeridgian soils. Epineuil’s greatest vineyard area lies on a massive and steep slope, the Côte de Grisey, where Dominique has most of his vines. The Côte is richest in its center where a bulge of clay graciously delivers to these wines their perfect mid-palates. While in times past, a celebrated site for Chardonnay, the Côte de Grisey is able to ripen Pinot Noir because its chilly, windblown climate is protected from the fiercest of winds by the Langres Plateau.
